| | creates a serious potential security
|
| creates the problem of being open to all

| | unscrupulous employees.The best way to
|
| to thoroughly acquaint themselves with

| | traffic that flows through a firewall is
|
| the same security risks as traditional IP
| |
| | routed through a gateway server, thus
